Screens for 3D
Passive 3D Projection – Part 7
This post continues the series of blogs discussing do-it-yourself (diy) passive 3D projection systems that use two conventional front projectors. In my previous blog (i.e., Part 6 of this series), I completed (at least for the time being) the discussion on projectors suitable for use as part of a passive 3D projection system that uses polarized light as the means to separate the right from the left images that make up the stereoscopic image pair that creates the 3D effect. This new blog wraps up the current discussion on passive 3D projection systems that use polarized light. Read the rest of this entry »
Passive 3D Projection – Part 6
This blog post continues the discussion of do-it-yourself (diy) passive 3D projection systems that use two conventional front projectors. In my previous blog (i.e., Part 5 of this series), I discussed using projectors that inherently project polarized light as well as the role of external filters needed for use with such projectors. For this new blog, I will address one comment received to that previous blog as well as continue the discussion on passive 3D projection systems that uses polarization as the means to separate the right from the left images that make up the stereoscopic image pair that creates the 3D effect.

Passive 3D Projection – Part 2
This blog is part 2 of a series on passive 3D projection. Part 1 was posted HERE. In this new blog I begin with a discussion of passive 3D projection systems for a home theater that is not specific to either of the alternative passive technologies for 3D (see my previous Blog for a discussion these alternative technologies). After this initial discussion I move on to more specifics on using polarization as the means to separate the right and left image pairs that make up the stereoscopic (i.e., 3D) image.

Passive 3D Projection – Part 1
This Blog starts a discussion on passive 3D projection systems. I expect this discussion will continue over several future blogs. For this initial blog I present some of the fundamentals of passive 3D projection. This is intended to prepare the reader for more in-depth discussions of the alternative technologies and descriptions of do-it-yourself (i.e., DIY) dual projector passive 3D projection setups.

3D Crosstalk/Ghosting – PART 2 and Silver Screens
This blog is a continuation of my previous blog (HERE) of December 14, 2011 on “3D Crosstalk/Ghosting – Part 1” and also is a follow-up to my earlier blogs discussing screens for 3D projection (i.e., blogs from August 19th, August 31st, and December 1st. For the continuing discussion from my most recent blog on 3D Crosstalk, I have now completed measurements of the 3D crosstalk level from my JVC DLA-RS40 projector and for the further discussion on screens for 3D projection I have taken a quick look at sample “silver screen” materials from both Stewart and Da-lite that are being marketed for use with passive 3D projection systems, that use polarization for their 3D separation, as well as suitable to 2D projection.

First Take on Stewart “Reflections Active 170″ Screen
For this blog I will be discussing a new front projection screen material being marketed specifically for use with 3D projectors. I will taking a look at the new Stewart Filmscreen Relections Active 170TM screen material with a rated gain of 1.7. Screens using this material are being sold for use with 3D projectors that use active shutter 3D glasses. Stewart also offers a screen material called 5D (more on that in a future blog) that is marketed for use with passive 3D projection systems. This blog reports on testing of sample of the screen material (actually a less than 1 square foot sample and not an entire screen). For reference a sample of Stewart’s well regarded StudioTek 100TM screen material (gain 1.0) was used. Read the rest of this entry »
Getting it Bright Enough
This blog is the follow-up to my earlier blog from before the CEDIA show. That earlier blog was from August 31 and was titled “Screens for 3D Projection – Part 2”. This new blog will be my wrap up, for now, on projection screens for 3D, but I’m certain there will addition future blogs that will cover the topic of screens. Read the rest of this entry »
Screens for 3D Projection – Part 2
This blog is a continuation of my previous blog. These discussions focus on factors that need to be considered when selecting a projection screen for use in a home theater with a 3D projector. While many of the screen characteristics equally apply to selecting a screen for regular 2D projection, there are some factors that are either more important when it comes to 3D or apply only for the case of 3D.

More on 3D Glasses and Part 1 on Projection Screens for 3D
For this Blog I am starting off with some additional info related to 3D active shutter glasses then I am begining (i.e., Part 1) a discussion on things to consider when selecting a screen for use with 3D projectors. Read the rest of this entry »
